bison(1) and flex(1) pose a problem for make(1) because they generate many output files. These files when properly added to dependency tree may make make(1) run rules to generate them twice depending on timing which in turn results in a race condition and failed build especially on heavily loaded systems.
To aviod that special rules that serialise dependencies need to be introduced which is what automake(1) has made for long time.

Additionally to avoid problems when running
make -n
, rm(1) and make(1) commands need to be placed under separateif
statements.https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/automake.git/commit/?id=d7c1679b14c1ab691927f3243df1cb3cbb2360aa
